I Like Your Christ; I Do Not Like Your Christians
We watched a little bit of a video on Gandhi, who is only the coolest person to have ever existed. That's really the only reason that quote came to mind.

So today Nicole and I went to DuPont Circle in DC and went hunting for gay paraphernalia. 'Twas fun! I got three books: Gay Tales of the Samurai; Man's Best Friend (absolutely delectable yaoi, highly recommended); and The Book of Dragons and Other Mythical Beasts, which will be mostly for reference. We had a fun time even though Nicole's dad got pulled over right after picking us up. >_< That was unnerving, because he didn't have his registration with him AND the front license plate had fallen off so we were there for ages...

Yuki and I watched Hare Nochi Guu together and then I sat down at my comp to hang out. Can't VA because my voice is pretty much gone. Exo sent me a SetoxJou slideshow from Youtube and it kind of sucked a little. Er, a lot, but at the same time it was good? The pictures were tres smexy, but very OOC for one or either of them, and the background song was T3H SUXX0R. I hate Rent now. Thanks, Youtube, thanks. But really, that was one of the worst attempts at singing I've ever heard, and I think it was meant to be a professional.
I've discovered I really hate YGO yaoi shippers...as much as I love YGO yaoi. Most of the shippers are 12- to 13-year-olds who can't get their hands on the real stuff yet and have to make up their own pairings and fanfic and so forth. And yes, I was one of these once, but I'm sure I had much better communication skills. One of the comments on the slideshow was as follows:
ahhh lyk no way where da hell did u get those pics *swoons* i love em *wlks away all grumpy while mutterin darnit i want those pics* *faves xxx*
OH GOD WHY?! This is the kind of thing that can only be written by someone from about 11 to 15. You know where the person got those pics? THE INTERNET. WHERE YOU ARE NOW, DUMBASS. How did you find the video? By searching! That's how he/she found the pics. Durr. Also, learn to spell, punctuate, capitalize, and form coherent sentences. Here is a rewritten version of your pathetic attempt at English.
Wow! Where did you get those pics? I love them! Man, I really want those. I'll add you to my favorites.
Just an example of how you can not only shorten the length of your message (while using complete words), but also not look braindead.
The sad thing is, even if I can easily avoid such people by not viewing comments on such suspect videos, the influence of the pre-pubescent yaoi fan permeates the world of YGO fanfic. I challenge you to find one single YGO yaoi fanfic, complete with sex scene, that is both tolerable in content and competently proofread. Go on. I know I don't dare try anymore, because the horrors of the pre-pube attempts at lemon are really, really traumatizing.
